Commander Etas Dabin is a 38 year old Betazoid currently serving as the chief engineer aboard the USS Chin'toka.
Etas has a reputation for being a brilliant engineer, but also for being difficult to work with. While his previous commanders have few complaints about his work, his tenure's on various vessels have been short lived. Nevertheless, he has served in high-level engineering roles on various starships since 2390, only five years after graduating from Starfleet Academy.
At an early age, Etas was subjected to horrific experiments that permanently damaged his telepathic abilities. Although these abilities are technically still present, they are so sensitive that any input blends into a single block of "noise" that is typically too dense to provide any useful information and extremely painful to experience. He's likened it to listening to one hundred different symphonies at once and trying to identify specific notes and phrases from a single instrument. After extensive rehabilitation, he has developed a psychic block that allows him to shut out his telepathic senses. With concentration, he can push through this barrier and attempt to use his abilities, but he avoids this whenever possible.
Physical Characteristics
Etas is of average height, with a lean but athletic build. He has long, dark brown hair (usually tied back to ensure it stays out of his way while working, and to meet Starfleet uniform code). He has black eyes, typical of a Betazoid, and pronounced cheekbones. He frequently wears a short, well-groomed beard and mustache.
